Answers for the working distillery.

How do I prepare for the first production run?

Get to know the equipment and the process you want to repeat. Prepare your ingredients, recipe settings, collection plan and quality checks. The free online University explains the principles; the practical course at iStill HQ lets you learn around the equipment. Keep a reference sample and clear batch records as you develop your production recipe.

Plan the complete setup

Where do I go when I need technical help?

Use Customer Support for an equipment or service question. Include your model, the issue and the operating context so the team can understand what you are seeing. Connected diagnostics may help on compatible equipment; confirm access and the support scope with the team. University and DistillingAI are useful for learning and development, while equipment issues need the technical support route.

What does cleaning and maintenance involve?

Plan cleaning around your feedstock, recipes and the next product in the schedule. Stainless-steel surfaces give you a practical foundation for repeated cleaning and changeovers. Follow the procedures for your equipment, check the result against the next recipe and keep routine maintenance on the calendar. A clear plan keeps the equipment ready for the work you want it to do.

How do I bring a new operator up to speed?

Combine the free online University with practical training and your own written recipes. Teach the operator what the settings achieve, what to check before starting and when to intervene. Then compare a finished batch with your retained reference. Saved recipes transfer the operating decisions; a trained team understands why those decisions matter.
